From The Desk Of Commissioner Marci Woodward A Message From Marci We are well into the new year, and much is happening in both the county and the country. While I am very busy with exciting projects, my new year had a rough start that I am still working through. As many of you may already know, my father passed away in his sleep at home in the early hours of New Year’s Day. His health had deteriorated after he suffered a series of strokes, seizures, and pulmonary embolisms three years ago. He survived, but never fully recovered. His last years were difficult for both him and my mother, as she became his full-time caregiver. With the help of the VA and organizations like Seniors Helping Seniors, they were able to keep him at home for most of that time. We got the call at 5:00 a.m. and were on the road to South Carolina by 8:30. The next week was a blur. I was one of the speakers at his funeral and struggled to find the right words. I can only describe it as living in a snow globe. It was hard to see past the man who had become so ill he could barely get out of bed. All my memories swirled so quickly that it was hard to focus on the life of the man who raised me, not just his final years. But then came the night we all sat in my mother’s kitchen, looking through boxes of old photos to create a montage for his funeral. There he was, and all the good memories came trickling back. We sat and shared those moments. Over the
next few days, my mom, husband, brother, and sister-in-law joined in the reminiscing, and a proper eulogy took shape. It’s hard to limit myself in what I would like to say about him. He lived a big life and loved to tell stories. He had a way of reliving events that made you feel like you were there, too. He was a spontaneous prankster and found humor in everyday life. He loved to visit new places and explore the area “like a local.” He never took the road most traveled. We shared a love of roller coasters, flying, and, most importantly, the beach. I try to think of him now as sharing his stories in Heaven in a perfect body, reuniting with lost loved ones, and knowing that he raised two great kids who will remember his legacy and are proud to have called him Dad.
Bonefish Cove Update We’ve heard from some constituents about traffic disruptions in the Town of Palm Beach, due to barge traffic related to the Bonefish Cove Project and bridge openings. In response, County staff initiated a call with Congresswoman Frankel, the Mayors of Palm Beach and West Palm Beach, and their teams. While the County does not have direct authority over the contractor, I emphasized our commitment to working collaboratively on solutions to address these traffic concerns. ERM, drawing from its experience, has proposed operational adjustments to the Corps to help reduce the impact. Recently, ERM received approval from the Town to work on Sundays, which will help alleviate delays during peak commute hours. Additionally, the Corps is working with the U.S. Coast Guard and the contractor to minimize unscheduled bridge openings. We w i l l c o n t i n u e t o closely monitor this situation and are committed to ensuring the Bonefish Cove Project moves forward smoothly while addressing local traffic concerns.

Important Hotwire Information Important Launch Project Update from Hotwire Communications We a r e e x c i t e d t o a n n o u n c e t h a t H o t w i r e Communications has been selected as the new cable and internet provider beginning January 1, 2026 for the Boca Pointe Community. In the next few weeks, Hotwire Communications will start the construction phase of the launch project at Boca Pointe. During this phase, the Hotwire Construction team will be working in your community to build the infrastructure for the new fiber optic network. Hotwire has reviewed the site plan in detail and due to size of Boca Pointe and the number of Villages, Hotwire has separated the community into four phases. Hotwire recently met with the Board Presidents of each Village to discuss the comprehensive construction plan for the community. Each Village will be assigned a construction phase and will be completed in that order. For reference, we have included a list of the Villages in phase one. It is important to note that Hotwire will have multiple construction teams working simultaneously, however depending on the phase of your village you may not notice any active construction. Prior to construction commencement in each Village, residents will receive a project update including specific construction details from the Property Management team and/or Board of Directors. If your Village is in phase one you will see an increase in activity as Hotwire is working in your area. Our crews will have their vehicles parked in your community and you will see us working in a variety of locations. We are a friendly group, but we kindly ask that you please keep a safe distance away from all our ongoing construction activities because safety is our top priority. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Hotwire will continue to send important updates as this project progresses. If you have any questions, please email Bocapointe@hotwiremail.com.
Boca Pointe Villages Included in Construction Phase 1: • Caravelle • Esplanada • Palomar • El Dorado • Montego Bay • Villa Flora • Palladium • La Paz (includes Lakes at La Paz) • Villa Sonrisa Important Note: Hotwire will send an update when Construction will be starting in Phase 2-4.
